New Year by the sea

Ten, nine, eight…count down to the New Year with us. Rosy cheeks, music for dancing and plenty of Champagne – and don’t forget Cornwall’s obligatory New Year’s Day beach walk (or swim, or surf for the hardy).

Our New Year three-night dinner inclusive break starts on the 30 December until 2 January, but you can stay as long as you like.
